If you get your beloved Headbanger's Ball back - can I have Jimi Hendrix back? Let it go already... MTV is not about playing (a variety of) music, it's a marketing tool to sell shit to teenagers. 15 years ago playing 'metal' (and I use the term loosely since most of it wasn't metal at all...) was the music that appealed to a large part of the pubescent teenage population, then it was Nirvana, now it's Limp Bizkit, and tomorrow it'll be something else.
